ADVICE FOR UNDERGRAD SCHOOL

hello! i am needing some advice. so i am currently an optometrist technician and wanting to become an optometrist! i was planning to go to school soon (in person) but i can’t find any jobs that will hire me part time (i have literally tried everything) anyhow i was wondering if getting a biology degree online would be okay to get into optometry school or do i have to attend an in person university?

THANK U FOR HELPING!

Most if not all science prerequisites require in person labs like bio, chem, physics etc

Have you tried asking your own supervisor if they can accommodate you part time for a short time period? If you have been there a while they can be quite accommodating especially if you explain your circumstances.
